Description

chargefee Command

chargefee can be invoked to charge a number of units to login-name.
A record is written to /var/adm/fee, to be merged with other accounting
records by runacct(1M).

ckpacct Command

ckpacct should be initiated using cron(1M) to periodically check the size of
/var/adm/pacct. If the size exceeds blocks, 500 by default, turnacct will be
invoked with argument switch. To avoid a conflict with turnacct switch execution in
runacct, do not run ckpacct and runacct simultaneously. If the number of free
disk blocks in the /var file system falls below 500, ckpacct
will automatically turn off the collection of process accounting records via the
off argument to turnacct. When at least 500 blocks are restored,
the accounting will be activated again on the next invocation of
ckpacct. This feature is sensitive to the frequency at which ckpacct is
executed, usually by the cron(1M) command.

dodisk Command

dodisk should be invoked by cron(1M) to perform the disk accounting functions.

lastlogin Command

lastlogin is invoked by runacct(1M) to update /var/adm/acct/sum/loginlog, which shows the last
date on which each person logged in.

monacct Command

monacct should be invoked once each month or each accounting period. number
indicates which month or period it is. If number is not given,
it defaults to the current month (01-12). This default is useful if
monacct is to executed using cron(1M) on the first day of each
month. monacct creates summary files in /var/adm/acct/fiscal and restarts the summary files in
/var/adm/acct/sum.

nulladm Command

nulladm creates filename with mode 664 and ensures that owner and group
are adm. It is called by various accounting shell procedures.

prctmp Command

prctmp can be used to print the session record file (normally /var/adm/acct/nite/ctmp
created by acctcon1 (see acctcon(1M)).

prdaily Command

prdaily is invoked by runacct(1M) to format a report of the previous
day's accounting data. The report resides in /var/adm/acct/sum/rprt/mmdd where mmdd is the
month and day of the report. The current daily accounting reports may
be printed by typing prdaily. Previous days' accounting reports can be printed
by using the mmdd option and specifying the exact report date desired.

prtacct Command

prtacct can be used to format and print any total accounting (tacct)file.

shutacct Command

shutacct is invoked during a system shutdown to turn process accounting off
and append a reason record to /var/adm/wtmpx.

startup Command

startup can be invoked when the system is brought to a multi-user
state to turn process accounting on.

turnacct Command

turnacct is an interface to accton (see acct(1M)) to turn process accounting
on or off. The switch argument moves the current /var/adm/pacct to the
next free name in /var/adm/pacct.incr (where incr is a number starting with
0 and incrementing by one for each additional pacct file), then
turns accounting back on again. This procedure is called by ckpacct and
thus can be taken care of by the cron(1M) command and used
to keep pacct to a reasonable size. shutacct uses turnacct
to stop process accounting. startup uses turnacct to start process
accounting.

Options

The following options are supported:

-c

This option prints a report of exceptional resource usage by command, and may be used on current day's accounting data only.

-l

This option prints a report of exceptional usage by login id for the specified date. Previous daily reports are cleaned up and therefore inaccessible after each invocation of monacct.

-o

This option uses acctdusg (see acct(1M)) to do a slower version of disk accounting by login directory. filenames specifies the one or more filesystem names where disk accounting will be done. If filenames are used, disk accounting will be done on these filesystems only. If the -o option is used, filenames should be mount points of mounted filesystems. If the -o option is omitted, filenames should be the special file names of mountable filesystems.
